Tomorrow, there’s an update coming for your Playstation Vita that’ll allow you to play your digital back-catalogue of PlayStation One games. Sony’s released the list of games that’ll be compatible and available from the onset – and if you live in the US, it’s a pretty dire selection; just 9 games. If, however, you live in a European territory, the list of games is pretty expansive – and exciting.
While US users will only have access to Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, Final Fantasy VII, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2 and Wild Arms (though you can get more working via PS3 transfer), the list for those of us who’re usually treated like second class citizens reads like a “Best Playstation Games EVER” feature. Here’s what you’ll be able to play when the update goes live tomorrow.
